VINE: Kobe Bryant Watches FC Barcelona Practice In Los Angeles

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant is a huge soccer fan. While growing up in Italy, Bryant became a fan of the sport and that fandom has stayed strong even after moving to Philadelphia as a teenager. As a die hard fan of the sport, and of European super team, FC Barcelona, the five-time NBA champion never misses an opportunity to watch Barca playing in Los Angeles.

FC Barcelona is currently in town as a part of their U.S. tour. Barcelona will face the Los Angeles Galaxy on Tues. July 21 in an international friendly at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Even without Messi and Neymar, the showdown between these two teams is sold out and expected to draw more than 90,000 people on Tuesday night.
